    Okay, I've decided to save up for a vision cage - obviously I don't want to have to buy two so what is the biggest size I would need for a BP? Also I am planning on sometime in the future getting a Brazilian Rainbow Boa how big of a vision cage would that need?

    An adult male ball python should have 5-6 sq ft of floor space and a female should have 6-7 sq ft because males will often cap out at 4' to 4.5' and females will typically reach 4.5' to 5' but can reach 6' in length. Basically, you want to provide a ball python with 1-2 sq ft more in floorspace than it has in length.

    I think those would both be fine, but somebody else can give you a better answer for the BRB.

    If you want to get more bang for your buck (in other words, a better quality enclosure, IMO) go with an Animal Plastics cage instead of Vision.

    http://http://animalshare.wantapet.c...ics/index.html

    I've used both Vision & AP, and would choose AP in a heartbeat. Their customer service is second to none, they design their cages to be assembled by the customer (which is VERY easy to do!!!!), hence saving you a ton of money on shipping, and I also feel that theirs is a superior product. Vision cages are 1/4" thick at best - AP cages are 1/2" plastic that retains heat & humidity extremely well. You also have the opportunity to add custom options to any AP cage you order. I have been NOTHING but pleased with this company & wouldn't hesitate to recommend their caging to anyone who doesn't want to have to upgrade later on.

    Personally Johan if I were to get a Vision Cage, I would go with model 622 (for a BP that is)

    Putting a ball python in a 6' enclosure is not only overkill, it is likely to put undue stress on the snake. Ball pythons thrive in close, secure quarters that don't constantly make the snake feel as though it could possibly be attacked from any angle.

    Just food for thought.
